What to Expect

Phone Consultation

The first step of your procedure will be your consultation with our friendly and knowledgeable team. They will review your health history with you, your out of pocket expenses, as well as your current list of medications. Then, you will discuss your procedure in detail, any questions you may have, and instructions on how to prepare for it.

Preparation for your procedure will vary based on the type, but some general instructions typically include:

Have a driver for the day of the surgery
Plan on having someone assist you at home if your procedure involves sedation
Bring your identification and insurance card
You will likely need to fast for a certain period of time before the procedure

Your Treatment

You will have a number of professionals there to assist during your procedure to ensure that it goes smoothly. Our team will guarantee your safety and comfort from the second you arrive until the end of your recovery. You will also meet with a medical internist that will determine if you are healthy enough for the surgery along with any anesthesia needed.

Your Recovery

You and your driver will be instructed on how to safely recuperate at home at the end of the procedure, as well as how to continue a successful recovery process in the coming days or weeks.

Important Update: New Survey Process for Patient Feedback

Beginning January 2025, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has implemented an important change in how patient experience is measured at all Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs). As part of this national initiative, all ASCs are now required to use an independent, CMS-approved third-party vendor to administer the OAS CAHPS (Outpatient and Ambulatory Surgery Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) survey.

This survey plays a critical role in helping ASCs like ours evaluate and improve the quality of care and services provided to patients.

What This Means for You

After receiving care at our surgery center, you may be contacted to complete a short survey about your experience. Surveys may be delivered through one of the following methods:
